"This morning, economist Paul Krugman came right out and said it: 'People close to Trump are trading based on national secrets.' Another word for that, he said, is 'treason.'”

"We have ourselves a Dunning-Kruger president, one who is supremely confident in his abilities on a range of topics where he is completely ignorant. And now he has taken us into a Dunning-Kruger war, defined by that fatal combination of ignorance and confidence."

"On Tuesday, the New York Times published a bombshell report. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has been aggressively lobbying Trump not to end the fighting. ...

Oddly, the New York Times story does not mention that Trump’s chief negotiator, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, is being paid tens of millions annually by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which is controlled by MBS.

#Federal #law bars deploying federal “troops or armed men” to polling places, except to repel “armed enemies of the United States.” #Elections are run by #states, despite #Trump’s calls to “nationalize” #voting in certain places.

“Sending #ICE or any federal agents to interfere in elections or intimidate voters would be unlawful, & I am confident that courts would step in,” said Wendy Weiser, VP for #democracy at the Brennan Center for Justice.

@timkmak Is there actually any difference between what trump is offering and what he dismantled when he took office?

Pin It ,or Pass it, but REMEMBER THIS:

5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran... someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.

5 minutes...

These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn't guessing. You don't risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
